distributions to the holder will be made unless and until the Debtor is notified of the holder's then
current address, at which time all missed distribution will be made to the holder without interest. All
claims for undeliverable distributions must be made to the Disbursing Agent within ninety (90) days
after the respective distribution was made. After that date, all unclaimed property will become

the cash, including interest earned shall be revested in the Reorganized Debtor.

d. Setoffs. The Debtor may, but will not be required to, set off against
any Claim and the payments to be made pursuant to the Plan in respect of the Claim, any claims of
any nature whatsoever the Debtor may have against the claimant, but neither the failure to do so nor
the allowance of any Claim hereunder will constitute a waiver of release by the Debtor of any such
claim the Debtor may have against such claimant.

e. De Minimis Distributions. No cash payment of less than twenty-five


dollars ($25.00) will be made by the Disbursing Agent to any creditor unless a request is made in
